Opening the straight not hard at all

[justoffal]

is that precise of a strike even possible?

So if the runa gets broken fine if not the ship sinks and that's fine too. There's no way in hell they should be allowed to get any traffic through there as long as they're stopping everyone else.

I would argue that the fact that the best the Iranian military can do at this point is harass merchet shipping immediately off their coast says a lot more about them being weak AF than it does about them being strong....

What you describe as "harass" is actually prevent the movement of oil through the Persian Gulf. The effects of that we are already seeing, describing that as "harass" is a distortion.

When things are so bad that Donald Trump has to beg for foreign countries to help it on social media, many of which countries are routinely ridiculed on social media by said Trump, then I'd say that's a serious indication of weakness.

Trump - nobody else - started this US participation in an age old Israeli pipe-dream, why your country allows itself to be manipulated this way by a foreign demonic regime is beyond incredible.

Maybe it will just take more time, but gas prices aren’t crazy where I live. 3.55 a gallon isn’t that bad, not enough to make anyone’s life “chaotic”

My brother enjoyed lobster and steak on occasion when he served.

Have you ever served?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Given that every single member asked has said they look forward to those days, then yes.

Who would lie about something like that?

Hell, it's a lot of things they lie about, have you ever served?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

We gotta stop playing around with their unauthorized take over of these waters

Isn't it Iranian waters? It would be like folks telling us we can't police our coastal waters.

 

[braalian]

They'll bomb oil facilities in US aligned Gulf states.

a great way to lose whatever support they have left with fellow Muslim nations

They're fighting for their existence.

the regime is, not the actual nation of Iran

The US has never faced an existential threat.

Iran won't cease to exist simply because their supreme leader and his courtiers are killed

The waters also border Oman and the UAE

 

[Blaster]

Have you ever served?

No I didn't.

 

[SaxonJackson]

So, how long have you hated American troops?

Trump hates American troops for sending them to their death for a "war of choice" started by him and his bosses in Israel. Instead of protecting Americans, he's protecting Israelis at the expense of Americans.

If all of those countries who get their oil because it comes through the Strait would send a little military help........

.

Tangerine man said he didn't need any help and could handle things there are no US ships anywhere that Hormuz strait because they could have an accident.

True, how far off your coastline do you control?

I’m not sure, but I’m guessing the tankers are doing their best to stay out of the Iranian waters

When oil goes to $200 a barrel lets revisit your argument.

 

[Dragonlady]

Name ONE ******* adminiistration and/or Government agency that has NOT practiced the use it or lose it policy.

When I served, 1981 to 1990, that was the Standard Operating Procedure for every unit across the entire service, not just Air Forcce but ALL services.

You are a clown.

Trump's standard "everyone else did it" lie. Everything is fine for you clowns when Trump does it.

If this had happened in a Democrat Administration, you'd be howling like banshees.

Who was supposed to authorize” it?????????

The fool in the White House? How about Pomade Pete?

You will be reminded that Trump started this war, and now owns it for as long as it goes on.

 

[georgephillip]

Just a matter of resolve....

An Iranian tanker has just made it through on its way to China.

Sink it!

Not hard, one maybe two torpedoes.

Don't want to sink it? Knock off the rudder and propeller.

Iran is not the only country that can close the straight.

If no one else gets through neither do the Iraian ships.

This is not at all hard.

Jo

How do you think China would react to your plan?

 

[MarathonMike]

is that precise of a strike even possible?

Absolutely. Several precision strike missiles can be programmed to take out the rudder of a large ship.

 

[Deadstick]

Meanwhile Nuttenyahu has gone AWOL like that other child killer Gvir, Iran has told the IRGC to kill Netanyahu at any cost if the scumbag is still alive, all we have seen of him for days are AI generated vids, Gvir has not been seen some say he was killed in a missile strike.
